My internal storage HDD just went bang so im looking to have it replaced. Ive got a 4TB portable on order which i will now be using for my backup up, just holding my music, videos ect. I have a M2 as my primary dive but its not very big, 250gb but it does me for windows and my main apps. Ive got a couple of 1TB internals that i use for my game library.
I was going to just replace the one that has gone with a 2TB but looking reviews online ive seen that a lot of drives now use SMR which apparently isnt very good? can anyone confirm this? will a Seagate ST2000DM008 or a WD WD20EZBX
do the job and will it be ok to run games off if needed? or should i be looking to buy a SSD ideally 2tb to replace my gaming drives and use one of those for my storage as realistically 1tb will be enough for me anyway.
